I made this cake for a friend who recently moved to America, hence the stars and stripes theme. Unfortunately he doesn't eat chocolate so instead of buying a slab of brown chocolate icing, I set about mixing a brown colour using red, blue and yellow food colouring. I drew out the design beforehand which made the process much easier.
I covered a rectangular victoria sponge in the brown icing and moulded a handle, buckles and a luggage tag. I bought a plane shape cutter from a kitchen store which made modelling the 3D plane a bit easier. I used a paintbrush to painnt windows and details to the plane, and also to paint the buckles and screws with edible metallic bronze paint. I love the metallic paint as it gives a special, more realistic edge to cakes. I finished the cake with blue and red shapes and flags, and then iced a message onto the luggage tag.
